And so what happens is, is that you get this other one from the sixth thing you buy, and then the seventh, and then the eighth, and then the ninth.

And then what happens is you say, oh, this guy who taught me this ninth thing, that guy is the truth.

But the reality is that the reason that some people get outcomes and some people don't by going through the same thing is that the skill gaps that exist in someone's skillset

are what create different outcomes with the same education.

And so the problem with an inexperienced teacher, and this is very common in the alternative education world, is that they will accept money no matter what.

But if I were to teach you Spanish 6, and I'm very good at Spanish, but you've never taken Spanish 1 through 5, am I a bad Spanish teacher, or are you just not good at Spanish 1 through 5?

What should have happened is I should have said, to buy Spanish 6, you got to go through Spanish 1 through 5.

But the thing is, is many of these alternative education businesses only know Spanish 6.

They don't even know how to teach Spanish 1 through 5, or they never had before, never thought about it.

Because they get one out of five people get a result, so they say, this is good enough, everyone else didn't try.

And to be clear, there's definitely people who don't try.

I don't want to say that's not true, for sure.

But there are also people who do try, but just didn't have the missing links.

And so part of the process of going through the alternative education world is...

having the perspective of a collector of skills.

And so, I don't know if I'm going to be able to use this today, but I know I will be able to use this eventually.

And as long as I see myself as the asset, I'm always going up.

And once I have all the pieces together, guess what follows?

The dollars start walking across the bridge and they keep going into your pocket.

And so to me, this is what I mean when I say like invest your money into income earning skills.
